I heard there was a bug where random cat pictures would get attached to posts in vB 3.6.5. Hope they fixed this!

<-- Like these simple crappy ones.

Nah, they look different. 'tongue' is pink with lipstick for example.

I know how to click 'more' - that doesn't change anything - they still look different.

They actually look like the ones you can put next to the thread title when you start a new thread. Same as the ones that you can put next to a post title like i've just done to this post as an example.

Paging goes wrong, the forum says this thread has 19 pages, but clicking on the link for page 19 returns you to page 18.

I just had the same problem with the "new toys" thread, it says 122 pages but when I click the link it just loads page 121 again.
